As an avid reader and consumer of media, I often ponder on the complexities of the human mind...particularly when it comes to emotions. I've noticed that most people don't look past surface levels, missing out on the depth that has sustained humanity up until now.
We have dumb shit like fan service, racism, sexism, subtly imprinted or mentioned in a myriad of media. But its often left unquestioned. Even more popular medias like Love Island or Baddies is filled with emotionally immature and unevolved adults who seem to have no real concept of bettering themselves or their lives. ( this is ESPECIALLY prevalent in Yaoi and BL )
Too often do I see toxicity praised or unhealthy mindsets romanticized. And while I do believe these are natural parts of humanity, it gets to a point where I ask "How could someone enjoy something so blatantly harmful?". It feels like we as humans have gradually lost empathy and a desire for meaning. Feels like were all lost in a sea or rot and denial.
So my "question" is...where do we draw the line? Will we justify toxicity cause it makes our heart race? Will we allow harm as long as it pleases us? When would morality become more important that a quick fix? When does pleasure become less valuable then the grand scheme of "feeling good"
or...am I reading WAAAY too into things and needa chill? lol...
